Says the Forest and Stream; The
residents of Gardner, Montana, who have
tried the Yellowstone for trout this year
complain bitterly at the small size of the
fish. Before the railroad was built it
was an ordinary thing to catch q string
of from ten to fifty pounds of trout,
while now an angler has to be content if
he carries home three or four pounds.
This is said to result from the device
employed by the road graders. These
lazy fellews-too lazy to fish had a way
of exploding dynamite cartridges in the
pools and them scooplng up such big fish
as Aoated within easy reach while the
fest were carried on by the stream.

I was In court when colored man was
being tried for killing another colored
man, and, on asking why his jury was
wholly white, was told that he was given
the choice Of being tried by his own color
or by whites, and he chose the whites
wisely, 1t seemed to me, as he got off with
seven years sentence, instead of life or
worse. While listening to the trial of
this case every one, excepting very few,
hastened out Of the court room and down
stairs, and in few moments filed back
into their places. The judge remarked:
Gentlemen, the shock is past, and we
will proceed with the case" Yet had
not felt any jar or tremor, but both white
and black natives are very sensitive re-
garding earthquakes; the one manifests it
by fear, and the other by nightly prayer
meetings ever since the great shock. AT
Morganton was told that the colored
churches had not been closed since the
latter event, and that meetings were held
every night in the week.-Raleigh Cor.
